20080252072 | Hose Connecting Device - The invention provides a hose connecting device that is suitable for high-pressure applications. The connecting device including a retainer for connecting a hose end to a hose connecting device element. The retainer may be secured or anchored to a flange of the hose connecting device element. In an embodiment, the retainer includes at least two retaining limbs that are secured on the outside of the hose by a tension means, such as by tightening straps. The retaining limbs may be provided between the outside of the hose and the tension means, and may be clamped therein. In an embodiment, the retaining limbs include recesses with flanges or stepped edges to support the limbs. In an embodiment, tightening straps may dig into the outside of the hose and rest against the hose. | 10-16-2008 |
20100264648 | CONNECTION METHODS AND SYSTEMS - Various novel connectors are provided. In one embodiment, the connector includes a collar configured to receive first and second components. In this embodiment, the connector may also include a load ring configured to be received in a groove of the second component and to move into and out of engagement with the collar when the second component is received by the collar. The connector of this illustrative embodiment may also include a cotter configured for installation to the second component and to inhibit disengagement of the load ring from the collar. In some embodiments, engagement of the load ring and the collar effects securing of the first and second components to one another. Other devices, systems, and methods related to connectors are also disclosed. | 10-21-2010 |
20130056977 | Connection Assembly for Tubular Goods - A mating connection assembly of the present invention permits quick and efficient connecting and disconnecting of tubular goods. A female box-end connection member has an inner body defining sockets; ball bearings held within such sockets with an outer sleeve. A male pin-end connection member is inserted within the box end connection. By moving the outer sleeve axially, the ball bearings are urged inward toward the male pin-end connection, creating a frictional locking relationship between the female box-end connection member and male pin-end connection member. | 03-07-2013 |
20140091570 | SLIDING DUCT CONNECTION - A duct connection including a first flange configured to couple with a first duct and a slip fit attached to the first flange. The slip fit has a first portion extending from the first flange substantially perpendicular with respect to the first flange and a second portion extending from the first portion of the slip fit substantially parallel with respect to the first flange. The slip fit and the first flange form a receiving area structured such that a portion of a corresponding flange included on a second duct can slide into the receiving area. | 04-03-2014 |
20150115601 | GREASE GUN COUPLER - A grease gun coupler for delivering grease from a tube of a grease gun to a grease fitting is provided. Insertion of a grease fitting in the coupler pushes in a piston, allows a bias or an operator to push an outer sleeve towards the grease fitting, which biases the ball bearings inwards, thus securing the grease fitting in the coupler. Retraction of the outer sleeve releases the ball bearings, thus allowing another bias to push back the piston and expel the grease fitting. | 04-30-2015 |
20150338002 | PIPE CONNECTOR AND SYSTEM THEREFOR - A pipe system connector having a male portion, a female portion, and a circular gasket positioned between the male portion and female portion to form a water-tight seal. The male portion has a V-shaped dovetail tenon and the female portion has a V-shaped dovetail mortise adapted to male with the dovetail tenon. The male portion has a gage point on the dovetail tenon and the female portion has a corresponding gage point on the dovetail mortise, wherein the gage points are used to position the male portion in relation to the female portion so that a water-tight seal is created between them. The dovetail tenon and the dovetail mortise may have rounded side edges to provide increased tensile strength to the connector. | 11-26-2015 |
